The question is often asked, what
mNnurcs are best adopted to corn? As
compared with cotton, corn needs about
the samo substances with a somewhat
increased quantity of iaru.,n. Cotton
seed, 'or instance, which lasalNa. been
successfully used as manure ior conn,
is by itself uusui.yd as Il fertilizer r3g
cotton, and nitrogen is the predominant
element OF cotton seed. But experience
has shown that cotton seed is improved
as manure for corn by the addition OF
phosphate, showing that corn does not
need quite so largo proportion Of
nitrogen 10 phosphoric acid and p tashas
cotton seed contains. \ strictly cotton
maAuro IS also improved, when intended
Tor corn, by thcaJI.iJu OF moca potash.
